Nevest Coleman arrives for work and is greeted with a big hug from fellow grounds crew member and old friend Harry Smith Jr. Former White Sox grounds keeper and wrongly convicted Nevest Coleman started his first day back with the Chicago White Sox on March 26, 2018, after 23 years in prison.

Nevest Coleman was freed on Nov. 20, 2017, after Cook County prosecutors agreed to a retrial for Coleman, who was convicted of a 1994 rape and murder that recent DNA testing suggests he did not commit. He was given his job back at the White Sox grounds crew and started on Monday, March 26, 2018.
